There's no better rooftop perch in Chucktown than the fifth-floor bar in Market Pavilion, where you can wash down panoramic views of Charleston's harbor and historic downtown with mango mojitos. The hotel has only been open for 12 years, but channels an 18thcentury colonial vibe with oil paintings of presidents in the rooms, floral armchairs, mahogany furnishings, and the like. The rooftop pool, frequented by local beauties, is the perfect refresher during the sweltering summer months. We love the Italian marble bathrooms, many with jetted tubs, and the way the staff enhances the unhurried atmosphere while being incredibly prompt. [Rooms start at $229; marketpavilion.com]
